Testing battery on a Dell laptop

3,759 248 April 11, 2024 at 12:50 PM
I just purchased a refurbished Dell Latitude laptop and i remember reading about testing the battery when I'd arrives and if needs updated they contacted Dell for a replacement.

Just wondering how to test the battery? Is there a n application that can do this?

Hitting F2 will get you to the BIOS section. Scroll down to battery and it will tell your status of your battery. If it's fair or poor a replacement is necessary.

Thanks...found it in the BIOS....shows "Primary Battery" Health:Excellent

I'm assuming this is not an issue and no need to Contact Dell asking for a new battery?
